From: Harry Pan <harry.pan@xxxxxxxxx> commit 3aa3c5882e4fb2274448908aaed605a3ed7dd15d upstream. RAPL MMIO support depends on the RAPL common driver. During CPU initialization rapl_mmio_cpu_online() is called via CPU hotplug to initialize the MMIO RAPL for the new CPU, but if that CPU is not present in the common RAPL driver's support list, rapl_defaults is NULL and the kernel crashes on an attempt to dereference it: [ 4.188566] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 ...snip...
